Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

After kidnapping the mob boss's daughter, you'll receive a call from your unknown contact at United Liberty Paper. It appears he's emancipating you from working with him, and in return he begins to give you some information on the person Niko is looking for. After speaking with him, you'll receive a phone call from Niko's cousin, Roman (it's been a while, hasn't it?) Roman tells you not to undertake this mission on your own, and he tells you to come get him. However, since you're likely still in Alderney, you're going to have to go clear across the city, to Broker. You can find Roman standing on Crockett Avenue, at the far south end of the borough. Pick him up to proceed with this mission.

Once Roman is in Niko's vehicle, all you have to do is drive southward and eastward to Francis International Airport. En route, Niko and Roman will have a deep conversation about what they think is about to happen, since the decade long hunt Niko has been on is about to conclude before your very eyes.

When you arrive at the airport, a mysterious van will pull up adjacent to Roman and Niko and dump out the man Niko is looking for, a guy named Darko. The story is intriguing, as Darko, Niko, Roman and Bernie are all interconnected in a historical way relevant to them all. We won't spoil the story for you here, but needless to say this is a long and drawn-out cutscene that requires your careful attention. Once you gain control at the end of the cutscene, you'll then be given a choice. You can either off Darko, or you can let him live. Regardless of what choice you make, the story won't change much, just some conversations that occur right after the mission concludes, and later on in the game. If you want to know what we did, well, we let him live. He's just a junky, after all.

Regardless of the choice you end up making, whether or not Darko lives or dies, you'll have to get into a vehicle and leave the airport eventually. When you do, Roman will ask Niko to drop him off at Brucie's, so do just that. En route, Roman and Niko will have a discussion largely contingent on the choice you just made in regard to the fate of Darko. When you ultimately arrive at Brucie's (which is, if you've forgotten, located where Mohanet Avenue and Creek Street run into each other near the Broker-Dukes border), Roman will get out, reminding you that his wedding to Mallorie is fast approaching.
